Better Prices for Wine.

SAN Francisco, May l2.-The
Merchant tomorrow will say: A sharp
advance in prices of wine is antici-
pated, owing to the small stock OF old
wine on hand, to the facilities offered
wine makers for storage and obtaining
advances thereon, to the superior
quality of last years vintage, for
which there have been inquiries from
the east and Europe, to the effects OF
late frosts, which will reduce the COM
ing vintage in some ot the large pro.
ducing wine sections 10y one-third, and
to arrangements recently completed
for condensing must, which will re-
iieve the market from any possibility
of surplus for many years to come.
All these facts lead the Merchant to
believe that prices will advance from
fifteen cents gallon to as high as
twenty-five and thirty cents gallon.
Sales have already been made at
eighteen cents.

TFor the AsheEiIle CITIZEN.
TO BE OR NOT TO BE.

There must be something the matter
with our Mayor and Board of Aldermen,
and with every one that has contributed
to prevent one of our most enterprisine
business men to erect neat bridge from
his Grand Central Hotel to the opposite
side, where he had purchased suita' lie
lot on which to erect an elegant block of
buildings, the ground floors to be used
for store rooms, and the rooms above, to
be fitted up with all the modern improve
ments, to be used in connection with the
Grand Central for the accommodation
of the large increase of travel that has
been seeking comfortable quarters aC
that house. What harm can be done
the city by granting Mr.. Chichester the
privilege of putting up what would be
an ornament to Patton Avenue?. We can.
not see how it would be anv dlsadvan-
tage to Asheville were the Messrs
Rawls Brothers to own both the
Swannanoa and Eagle hotel buildings
and be granite ed-the privilege of connect
ing the two hotels by neat bridge like
the Ballard and Exchange in Richmond.
We sincerely hope our present Mayor
and Aldermen will not hesitate a mo-
ment when such great improvements
are in demand every day in Asheville
Oet them take no step backwards in the
march Of improvement now so apparent
on every hand. A few years ago the
widest thinker did not give Asbeville
in the future more than ten thousand
population. Now it is apparent that be-
fore another decade it Will not have less
than twenty thousand. Then. don't stop
any improvement. .Messrs- Mayor.and AL
dermen. MANY CITIZENS.

THE SOLID SOUTH.

Whv anybody should suppose that the
good of the country would be advanced
by the South dividing upon political
issues is more than we are able to under
stand. If the principles of the Demoer-'
attic party are ri hit there can be no good
reason why the South should not remain
solid for the rig hit, and we should be glad
to know how the honor, the glory and
the prosperity of the country can be
advanced by having any Southern State
throw it's strength to The support of per-
nicious and iniquitous political heresies
We ave no patience with the senseless
cant which some really good newspapers
are indulging in cn this question. TIE
american wants to see the South remain
Solid for the Democratic party, not from
any(sectional motive, but because it be-
lieves the principles of the Democratic
party are most conducive to the welfare
of the people, the prosperity of the coun
try and the perpetuity of American
institutions and government. For exactly
the same reason it would be glad to see
the North solid for the same principles
If we believed in the doctrines of the
Republican party We should wish to see
the South solid for thoee doctrines. Be-
lieving that the Republican doctrine of
10 IlDllSlIOuS JsOI0Sy, ana
that i'll practice it is crime against the
people, the american would be glad to
see the people of ali sections unanimous
in its condemnation. Believing that the
tendencies of the Republican party to-
ward Capitalization are inconsistent with
the genius of the American scheme OF
governm ent and inimical to the liberties
of the people, the Ame, ican would
rejoice to see the people of the North
the South, the East and the West mite
in trampling it in the dust.
While the American is as free from Sec
tional prejudice as another, it confesses
to degree of pride in having the South
ern States, which so long have suffered
in common the insults, the ISLANDERS and
the oppression of an unscrupulous party
of sectional hate, standing firmly to-
gether in behalf of their common inter-
ests. And we hope and believe that they
will continue to do so. The american
believes that no man now living will ever
see Southern State ally itself with any
party upnolding sucn doctrines as those
of the Republican party.-NashvilIe

Texas seems to by drying up. A
late dispatch, 18th, says: The past
week has been one of expectancy
and disappointment to the people of
Texas. rains ofany consequence
have fallen throughout the immense
area now suffering from drought,
Dispatches to the Galveston NeUs,
San Antonio Express, and other pa
pers of the State, continue to detail
the widespread and threatening
character of the drought, the severi
ty of which has perceptibly in>
creased since the last report. The
drought now extends from the far
western grazing lands across the
State for distance of eight hun
dred miles into the pine regions
bordering on Louisiana, but decreas-
es in severity as it approaches the
pineries, from which section the
complaints are of recent date. The
general rains which usually set in
at the full of the moon are wanting,
and the cool, dry winds of the past
fortnight continue to prevail except
in the district immediately west and
southwest of San Antonio, embrac-
ing Medina, bandera, Uralde, Freio
and Stag.sasa counties, wF4ae mod
crate rains fell yesterday. but not
enough, say the dispatches from that
vicinity. This is one ofthe grazing
sections of the State where stock
was dying.
Between San Antonio and the
coast, embracing such fertile coun-
ties as Guadaloupe, Gonzales, Lava
ca, Colorado, Bastrop and dozen
others, the drought has assumed a
serious aspect, putting an embargo
upon all agricultural development,
specially cotton, the chief product
of this section. One correspondent
describes the roadways throughout
this belt as covered to a depth of
several inches with dust The fields
are barren, even of weeds, while
st ings of cattle, almost too poor to
stand up, are travelling constantly
in search of grass and watar.
"In Central Texas, embracing
ABOUT thirty counties surrounding
Waco, Corsicana and Burnet, the
situation is scarcely more promising.
all reports agreeing that nothing but
very early and plentiful rains will
avert serious damage of failure of
crops. In Northern and Northwes-
tern Texas the drought is not as
severely felt as in other sections,
but complaints are increasing dai-

A FAMILY OF VAMPIRES One
might imagine that the wheel of time
is turning backward on reading the
following: A landed proprietor,
Baron de Gostovsky, living at Sa
boucz, near DanzIg, made the re-
quest that at his death his head
should be cut off before his inter
ment, a service which he siad he had
performed on the body of his. wife
after her death. "We are family
of vampires" he added. ''and If
this precaution be not taken we can
find no repose in the grave, out
come back and bring misfortune to
our children. The eldest son faith>
fully fulfilled the fathers request,
but Notwithstanding this he fell i'll
few days after the funeral. Then
he went to the cemetery caused the
grave to be opened, turned the body
over and threw the head into wood
near by. Only the slight pu1ish-
ment of fortnight's Imprisonment
imposed upon the perpetrator of the
outrage was given, on account of
the estatementof numerous witnesses,
all of whom testified that the pro-
fanation of the sepulchre had a reas.
on solely in the frmly-rooted super
stitions in Lithuanian country dis.

The Chicago Herald is of the opin-
ion that if any party ever takes John
Sherman up as presidential cam
didate it will be one that has been
in the tomb for some time. Per-
haps. Certainly it will be one that
ought to be in the tomb and never
be resurrected.
There is something very beauti-
full in the faith of childhood. 1t
was the morning of the last day of
the carnival when a seven> year-old
boy, in St. Anthony hill family,
was singing around the house in an
unusually happy spirit. "What
makes my baby boy so bright tos
day" inquired the mother. "Oh,
It's cause l asked God two weeks
ago to make sister Mary well and
not to let me have the measles till
carnival was over. This, is the last
day of the carnival, and l guess God
'membered what said to him."
